I wouldn’t say that. We’ve beaten only one top 50 kenpom team and lost to 2 teams outside of the top 50, one of which, Butler, looks pretty bad at this point. Big week coming up

I think we’re good but we need to show it against more good teams

If Jon says it, it must be so.

We beat UMES by the exact same score 84-60. That was also the last game we’ve shot > 40% from deep.

We shot 31% tonight.

That sounds like an insult.

I can’t get over how stupid this slogan is

Just realized that Zay’s last game in a Virginia uniform and his first game in JPJ coaching for another program were against Ryan Odom.

Sam and Thijs assist rate sneaky story of season?

Did like that Chance loosened up more and showcased his handle a little better as the game went on. Want him more confident

When is Jacari coming back?

I feel like we’re wasting way too many offensive opportunities to use the full shot clock by making baskets early in the possession. We’re not dribbling the ball staring at the defense, passing around the perimeter, and we lose our chance to throw up a desperation shot with the shot clock expiring. This is the ultimate cause of our scoring so many points and needs to be corrected soon.

I broke it because we have far more X.com links than YouTube links posted.

Defensive improvement is real. Currently at 30th in Kenpom, wonder what the ceiling is. Staying around 30th with our offense would make us a 2nd weekend team

The improvement of this team throughout the season has been pretty crazy to watch. Odom’s in-season coaching job, which is one of the things he was heralded for, has far surpassed any reasonable expectation imo.

Don’t want to get too ahead of myself, but he has to be in the running for coach of the year right? Complete roster flip and has them as a ~top 20 team before the halfway mark of the season?

Another whoopin with our ā€˜B’ game. Still plenty that can be cleaned up. 8 missed FT (shot 65%) and 11 TO (felt like more and many were unforced). Go Hoos!

We are terrible. Not even worth watching, unless of course Cory is on the call. That man could turn a race to dry between two colors of paint into an entertaining and informative experience. I wonder what Cory’s favorite color is and why he hasn’t told us.

Yep… if we clean up our loose handling and early jumping at the ball on offense…

With some of these curb stompings… you will have to change your standard message to…

We are going to only win by 15 instead of 25 :sad_but_relieved_face:

Imagine how good we’d be if we didn’t spend the first 5-10 minutes every game looking like we’d forgotten we had a game and played our middle 20 minute game from jump.

If we somehow finished at the Torvik projection (25-6, 13-5), that is ACC COY and Top 3-5 national COY. Becoming increasingly clear we got the best possible hire we could have for culture, fit and long term prognosis in this environment.
